This morsel has my soul vibrating like a tuning fork. I’m in the age bracket of the majority of your respondents here – at least two with names which feature large in my family tree – so good company – and they express in response to this intro the same kinds of feelings I have.
Years ago I was teaching for nearly two decades in Japan – part of my university contract was to teach community continuing education classes. Of course English communication – Donald Keene essays or the history of English (how did it arise and how did it get to become the “world language”) or cultural aspects of English vis-à-vis its equivalence in Japanese. Needless to say bright and intelligent and mostly fluent in English – the members of those classes.
But one sad member through one of those dozen years was a disturbed chap quite mentally unstable (picking up – as such people can do – on the political dog-whistling of the Japanese right and its regular refusal to answer Chinese claims re Nanjing or praying at the War Shrine in Tokyo – and later threatening all manner of dire acts on a Chinese academic mate – and on his little girl as she went to school – but thwarted by some intelligent actions from mutual friends) who shouted out in the class that I was a Marxist. A what?
Look, Helen, I was raised in a fundamentalist protestant family – not escaping the fundamentalist clutches till I was 19 – and nearly finished my tertiary studies – and my history courses had largely missed late-19th political theory – don’t ask me how. I knew only that the manner in which the accusation was flung at me with a kind of knowing sneer meant that it was not positive. Now I am champing at the bit till next week and your book’s release to learn how he identified me as a Marxist!

(Multiverse theory to BC) A Fifth political position is a political stance/position on issues that is neither support, against, neutral, left wing-liberal-progressive, conservative-right wing, centrist, indifferent, apolitical or 3rd political position (which is a different concept entirely) but a hypothetical, political stance/political position that is as opposite of support and against as support and against are opposite of each other and is as opposite of left wing and righ...

My private and off the record views on Russia-Ukraine: Here is an alternative take by Dr Jill Stein on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. But this youtube transcript by The Karnavcle (from c 3:00 minute mark to around the 15:00 minute mark) provides a nuanced and articulated counter to that narrative by Dr Jill Stein I do not endorse the US getting involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, just like the Copperheads were did not support the US (i.e Union) going to war with the Confederacy during the Civil War. See here , here , here here , here and here for more. Also see here and here Maybe the US should follow the lead of Austria's extremist right wing party who walked out on Volodomyr Zelesky's Also see this , which shows that NATO and Ukraine might try to create an Israel like apartheid state which concerns me a lot This is because I am non interventionalist and Anti Imperialist (especially Anti Western Imperialist) etc but also because of this here ...
